The number of cats that you have is; 27 cats

<h3>How to calculate algebra word problems?</h3>

Let the number of cats alice has be x.

Since you have thrice the amount of cats that alice has, then you have 3x cats.

Bob has 7 less cats than you. Thus, bob has; 3x - 7

If they have a total of 56 cats, then;

x + 3x - 7 + 3x = 56

7x - 7 = 56

7x = 56 + 7

7x = 63

x = 63/7

x = 9

Thus, number of cats you have = 3x = 3 * 9 = 27 cats
